Described as "much kinder", Posy receives the spotlight from her mother much less due to her chatty, friendly demeanour often resulting in putting her foot in her mouth.
Now on the marriage mart like her sister, will Posy be able to find a husband?
Isabella's breakout role was as the mysterious Ling Yi in Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese’s Netflix series 1899.
Bridgerton was created by Chris Van Dusen, who previously worked on smash-hit series Grey's Anatomy.
The programme's current starring cast includes Adjoa Andoh, Derry Girls' Nicola Coughan and Broadchurch's Jonathan Bailey.
